An Arctic Giant.

The Burr Robbins new Gigantic
Show certainly have q genuine sur.
prise In store for the public this
year, in the person OF HIS whale ship
a monster North Sea Whale, cap
tured lately by an English Seal
fishing outfit and brought into Liv
erpool where its purchase, by a
representative Of Mr.. Robbins, was
made. The clever recital OF a most
exciting chase and its capture as
given in late issue of the Liverpool
Daily truth, is too lengthy for space
here. but various authorities soon
pronounced it q real Arctic Whale
Whalemen claim 1t to be the very
largest arctic whale they ever saw
in or out Of the water, and it is ais O
the only one Of its gigantic species
ever exhibited In any country.
The immense transparent tank
containing the huge Oceanic giant
is OF course many times the large st
portable aquarium den ever construct
ed, in this country, at least, and Ia
transit, the whole occupies the
longest railroad car ever built, and
having tonnage Of 10000 pounds
capacity. It does seem impossible
to transport such q colossal cargo
for exhibition, but Mr.. Robbins has
made that matter q feasible one az
1t Is presented to view daily in the
aquarium tent, and to see. which
not = penny's extra charge is made
as the bills say. The Whale is a
very absorbing attraction, but the
advertisement in this paper promi-
ses hundreds OF other special fea-
lures, many Of them now exhibited
for the first time, any one Of which
is complete show in itself.
The show In general is full up to
its past high plane of merit, and
its now largely increased proper.
tions and superior attractions
coupled with its reputable high
toned character Is sure to tempt a
large patronage than has ever be-
fore been given to any tented show
In this city. The Whale and the
great show will be here on Monday
June 9th, and don't you forget it.

,JOy at the Old homestead.

About one hundred relatives,
neighbers and friends, met at the
home OF Ira 6. Mead. in Busti,
Thursday afternoon, May Goth, 1887,
to enjoy with him his 6lst birthday.
A complete surprise to Mr.. Mead,
who is not naturally suspicious. It
was very pleasant time to all con-
ceTned.
May we all participate in many
more reunions at the old homestead
Several birthday tokens were left
behind, among them a beautiful
easy chair, from son, w. ]. Mead,
Ut Washington Territory.
The following Is poem written
and read by q niece. Myra Y. Wilcox:
Dear Uncle, Brother, Father, Friend.
A kindly greeting we extend.
sixty-one years ago to-day,
Opened to you LIES rugged way.
The onward march OF many years,
Has been frausht with laughter and with tears
Yet only after some slight sadness,
Do we fully appreciate the gladness.
You have not merely toiled for self,
But thought OF others more than self.
May tbs scattered seed OF kind words and
deeds,
Returning now, supply all your needs.
Two brothers far from US to night,
Are still as dear, as when in sight.
The absent son you 50 fondly cherish,
HIS love remains, 1t Will not perish.
Our lives are measured, not alone by years,
But when each one before his judge appears, |
To him who not SO long but well has striyen |
The welcome words "Well Done are given.
The seed time Of your life Is passing,
We wish for you harvest everlasting.
We hope your life will long be spared,
And all good things with you be shared.
Father and mother and many more,
Are watching and whiting on the other shore.
So let's give thanks With grateful heart,
For an eternal home where we shall never

That Tired Feeling

Afflicts nearly every one in the
spring. The system having become
accustomed to the bracing air Of
winter, is weakened by the warm
days Of the changing season, and
yields to attacks OF disease. Hoods
Sarsaparilla Is just the medicine
needed. It tones and builds up
every part Of the body, and also
expels all impurities from the blood.
Try it this season.

In our endeavor to do justice to
Mr.. Kinsey Elwood in stating that
that gentleman had exhibited q note
against Ed. Slender to our counsel,
an unintentional wrong was done to
Mr.. Slender, who assures us that
every cent of that note was long
since paid to Elwood in team work
at - 90 day. We have no doubt
but Mr.. Slender tells the truth. He
Is man who tells the truth from
choice. The man who dare say as
much for Elwood is taking risks
with great odds.

The street Car Conductor.

The man who has to stand twelve
and fourteen hours a day on the plat
form of street car doesn't look forward
to the fall festivities with any degree of
pleasure. It's a popular fallacy that
big loads mean big pay for conductors,
who are in some mysterious way bene-
fitted by increased receipts. 1 have been
at the business now over a dozen years,
and L confess to not being in the secret.
When a car has 40 per cent. more pas
sengers on 1t than it was constructed to
carry, the labors Of its conductor are
more than doubled, and he is condemn
ed to ride in continuous torture, have
his feet smashed into jelly, and in all
probability lose q considerable percen-
tage of his meager earnings in making
change when SO mobbed that he cannot
get fair use of his hands. / was on an
English line of cars n whole year,
and although the pay wasn't enough to
hold me, l couldn't help admiring a
simple police regulation prohibiting
crowding. If a car was ever met by an
officer with. n more passenger than its
licensed capacity on board, both driver
and conductor were arrested. There
was e any difficulty in keeping to
the prescribed number, because if an
extra passenger got on, the horses would
be at ono stopped, and il the intruder
didn't get off again a committee of pas
sengers in a hurry to get through was
always organized to chuck him out.

A Daughters Work.

Probably there is not a single young
girl among our readers who, on leaving
school, does not anxiously survey the
work in life before her. Her brother
has a straight, measured road in his
future-a profession or trade to acquire,
for which work his hours are all regu-
lated. She has her studies, her work
in the household, her duties to father
and mother, to society and the church.
There is SO much to do, and when it is
done, 1t seems to amount to so little!
A visitor to Paris was escorted
through the great shop known as LIE
Bon Marche, and saw the controllers,
the cashiers, the statesmen, each busy
with his set work. One little man
passed quietly from one department, to
another, with a low word here and
there.

Wrench in a Printing Press.

A perfecting press, such as most
leading newspapers are printed on, is
All expensive and intricate piece of
machinery. The costs runs up among
the thousands or dollars, and it consists
of many delicate parts nicely adjusted.
AT the same time 1t exerts a tremendous
mechanical force when in operation,
and is not a thing to be trifled with.
Imagine the sensations of a leading
publisher N day this weeA, when he
saw an iron wrench 60 crashing
through his press, following the path
designed for a single thickness OF paper.
1t was the fault of a careless pressman,
who had started the machine without
removing the wrench, which he had
been using. In an instant, so rapid is
the motion OF these presses, cylinders
were broken, wheels twisted out of
shape, thousand OF dollars of damage
done, apd, most aggravating of all, the
wrench came out uninjured.
